IronPigs Get Challenge From Iron Pigs

It appears that the Lehigh Valley IronPigs team name may not be set in stone yet.

Yes, the Texas-based Iron Pigs Motorcycle Club is planning to sue to force the team to change its name. The motorcycle club, an offshoot of the Wild Pigs, says it has already defended its trade mark “several times” since its founding in 2000.

The Lehigh Valley IronPigs’ response? “Who the hell is going to confuse the two?!” Well, not really, they just said they already checked with Minor League Baseball and said the name will be able to stand up to challenges. (Perhaps this is why there’s not a space.) But will it stand up to the wrath of angry Lehigh Valley fans confused by the name?
